Job Purpose
The Zookeeper / Animal Keeper will be responsible for the daily care and welfare of animals across the farm park and zoo collection. This is a varied, hands on role working with both domestic and non-domestic species, including (but not limited to) equines, hoof stock, mammals, birds, reptiles, and falconry species.
The role also plays a key part in visitor experience, delivering engaging public talks, keeper interactions, and live animal displays such as falconry shows, while promoting animal welfare, conservation, and education in a family-friendly setting.
As a “Cover keeper” your daily role will include a rotation of duties around the site. This will be to ensure variety for you and your teammates and to allow the park to deliver the best experience for visitors.
Our initial vision for the future of the farm is to become a combination of a working farm and zoo collection. So, and understanding and acceptance of working practices is a must.
Our aim would be to have a farm to fork showcase, where products produced on the farm are then sold at the farm and across its facilities.
